Buying Tips

Selecting the right tennis racquet is essential for junior tennis players.

Junior tennis racquets are lightweight and constructed with larger head sizes and easier to grip handles for smaller hands. Find racquets ranging in lengths from 17 inches to 26 inches for players ages 3-11.

Consider your child's age, height and experience level when finding a racquet or junior tennis balls that are right for them. For children who are 3-6 years-old, choose a racquet that is between 17 and 21 inches in length. Upgrade to a longer racquet as your child grows and develops as a player. Select from Stage 1, 2, and 3 youth tennis balls to ensure your little one is using the right tools for their skill development.

In kids' tennis clothes, select garments that offer a lightweight feel and breathable fabrication for total mobility on the court. Look for accessories designed just for your young player, like wristbands and headbands that wick away moisture and perform during every match. Consider purchasing a junior tennis bag to keep your little one organized as they play. Choose from single racquet tote bags to tennis bags that fit upward of three tennis racquets, plus extra gear like towels, water bottles, and tennis balls.

Expert Advice

Watch your child move fluidly on the court with the right pair of tennis shoes.

Seek out kids' tennis shoes that deliver a lightweight feel, adaptive fit and unbeatable traction. Your junior player's shoes must withstand the slides, jumps, starts and stops that tennis requires. Ample shock absorption in footwear lets players be as active as possible without sacrificing comfort. Flexible grooves on the sole let your child move easily, while a mesh upper adds a lightweight feel no matter what the match has in store.
